  • Patent number: 11932463
    Abstract: Blanks for forming two-compartment containers and the resulting containers are described herein. The container includes a tray and four closure flaps hingedly connected thereto. The closure flaps can be closed to enclose food or other substances therein, or opened to provide access to and removal of the tray contents. The tray is separated into two compartments by an interior partition. Generally, each compartment is liquid tight. Each compartment includes a bottom, three sidewalls, one partition wall, and four corners; each corner is adjacent to a folded gusset. Two opposing sidewalls are located on a first set of opposing sides of the bottom and a third sidewall and the partition wall are located on a second set of opposing dies of the bottom. Each folded gusset generally adheres to an adjacent sidewall. In at least one compartment, each opposing sidewall contains an extension portion that adheres to its adjacent opposing sidewall.

  • Publication number: 20230075117
    Abstract: Blanks for forming clamshell containers and the resulting clamshell containers are described. The clamshell containers include a tray and a lid that are hingedly connected together. The tray is liquid tight, and typically includes gussets on each corner to prevent leakage. The lid and tray can be locked via at least one locking mechanism, optionally two different locking mechanisms. A first locking mechanism involves a front panel on the tray, with an extension portion that terminates in a hook or tab. The extension portion can fold over the front panel of the lid, and the hook or tabs slide into a slit(s) on the top of the lid. An optional second locking mechanism involves lid detents and tray detents. In some embodiments, in the locked position, the lid detents are underneath the tray detents and the tray detents retain the lid detents in place until a force is applied.

  • Publication number: 20160318650
    Abstract: Paper food trays that are able to be compactly stacked together and that contain side walls and a bottom with gusset corners formed by overlapping gusset panels and paperboard blanks for forming the trays are described herein. These nestable food trays are stronger than nestable food trays that do not contain a gusset corner. Further, they are particularly useful to carry and hold foods that include a sauce or other liquid. The food trays are generally temporarily leak proof, such as for at least about 5 minutes, preferably for at least about 10 minutes, more preferably for at least about 15 minutes, after the food is placed in the tray.

  • Patent number: 7601123
    Abstract: The apparatus and methods of the present invention provide a non-invasive measurement of blood pressure with a frequency that approximates a continuous measurement. Blood pressure measurement provides information that is both clinically and diagnostically significant. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a method for providing a non-invasive measurement of blood pressure, includes obtaining a first input signal and a second input signal indicative of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, respectively; tracking a signal indicative of pulse pressure; continuously measuring a third signal indicative of mean blood pressure; and processing the signals to obtain a measurement indicative of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, wherein at least a portion of the measurement indicative of systolic and diastolic blood pressure is continuous.
